Boys
Theodore - worried it's overused now
Monty - DH unsure as 'we're not posh'
Winston - both like but not sure we love it

Girls
Clementine
Matilda

Surname is double barrelled with different sounds so doesn't have to go with that really

Theodore - overused especially Theo
Monty - too nicknamey

Clementine - love it.
Matilda - overused and dull

Poppydaisies · 13/02/2020 15:28

Love Winston and Clementine!

Theodore and Matilda are indeed a little dull, from being overused.

Whatsyourflava · 13/02/2020 15:30

Love Clementine and Matilda
Matilda much rarer than it used to be and Clementine getting more popular

Whatsyourflava · 13/02/2020 15:37

Don’t like Monty. I promise I never usually say this but I really see it as dogs name

ParsleyPot · 13/02/2020 15:52

Theodore - nice
Monty - no, it's a diminutive of Montgomery or Montague
Winston - reminds me of Michael Whitehall's doll...

Clementine - nice
Matilda - nice

Whatsyourflava · 13/02/2020 16:14

If you like Winston how about Wilfred? Nn Wilf

Mamabear88 · 13/02/2020 17:01

Your girl names aren't my cup of tea, sorry.

I love Theodore. Winston is also really good. My nephew is Montague (Monty) and let's just say it raised a few eyebrows when they announced the name. There was a lot of 'oh that's rather posh!'. It does sound very public school boy to me.

I like pp suggestion of Wilfred (Wilf) too.

Tatum1234 · 13/02/2020 17:02

Monty and Clementine are fab! Clementine has been my favourite for years, so sad I didn’t get to use it.

Standrewsschool · 13/02/2020 17:05

Theodore - lovely
Monty - good, but prefer Montgomery with Monty as nn
Winston - don’t partupicularlynlike

Clematine - love
Matilda. - ok

Other suggestions
Donovan (Donny
Sebastian
Christopher

Magdalene
Juliette
Evelyn
Olivia

Nowayorhighway · 13/02/2020 17:20

Clementine is my girls name of choice. I love Matilda too but I think it’s quite common.

I only like Winston from your boys list.

user1493494961 · 13/02/2020 18:17

Love Clementine and Matilda, Theo is nice, know a nice little Monty, think it's OK. Dislike Winston.

yestonodressyet · 13/02/2020 19:53

Sorry should have said Monty would have Montgomery on the birth certificate.
As PPs have suggested I love wilf(red) snd really pushes for it for DS1 but DH was a firm no on using it!

I really don't like Winston but love Winnie for a girl!
Not a fan of Clementine, Matilda (Tilly or Matty is lovely).
I do like Theo and taught a lovely Monty

Pieceofpurplesky · 13/02/2020 20:03

I know someone (just remembered) who has called their DD Wilhelmina - Billie or Mina as a NN and I love the nn

mamablondie · 05/03/2020 09:08

Love Theodore and Matilda - if you like it Go for it! You’ll regret not using a name just because it’s popular, give it a few years and it probably won’t be.

diddlediddle · 05/03/2020 09:12

LOVE Montgomery nn Monty. Much better than Winston (sounds kind of fusty) and Theodore (it's very nice but quite common).

Matilda is a bit overdone and clunky for me. Love Clementine, unsure about Clemmy nn but Clementine is really lovely.

DoctorBambino · 05/03/2020 11:03

Theodore - I really like it but it does seem popular
Monty - I like and don't think it sounds any more 'posh' than all the other names in your list!
Winston - makes me think of a gorilla?!
Clementine - too frilly for my taste
Matilda - I like it and LOVE nn Tilly

Bezalelle · 05/03/2020 11:26

Theodore - it's overused now.
Monty - weird.
Winston - awful. Reminds me of a jowly Churchill.

Clementine - 'Clem' is such an ugly sound. Like slang for genitals.
Matilda - pretty.

cheesecakeorchocolatecake · 05/03/2020 11:26

Monty is just awful, sorry! And it's becoming more popular. I now know 3!
I ADORE Clementine.

Lavenderblues · 05/03/2020 15:36

Love Winston and Clementine!

PatchworkElmer · 05/03/2020 15:38

Theodore and Clementine are lovely names.
